Haaland Levels Up: Manchester City’s Superstar Scores 100th Goal for the Club
Erling Haaland has written himself into the history books by matching Cristiano Ronaldo’s record for the fastest player to reach 100 goals for a European club. The 24-year-old sensation smashed the milestone in Sunday’s Premier League match against Arsenal, netting the strike in the 9th minute at the Etihad Stadium.
Haaland accelerated through the Arsenal defense, avoiding Gabriel Magalhães and William Saliba before firing low past David Raya. The Norway international has now reached the ton in just 105 games for Manchester City, replicating Ronaldo’s achievement for Real Madrid in 2011.
But what makes this feat even more remarkable is Haaland’s blistering start to the Premier League season. He had already broken the record for most goals through four games, netting an incredible 9 goals, including 2 hat-tricks.
Haaland had a rare off-day in the previous Champions League game against Inter Milan, where he could’ve broken the record on Wednesday. However, City’s 0-0 draw meant he was forced to wait a bit longer.
This milestone highlights the incredible talent we’re witnessing in Haaland. Scoring 100 goals at just 24 years of age is an impressive feat, and he still has plenty of years left in the tank. We’ve seen him grow in influence and confidence since his Premier League debut, and fans are eagerly anticipating what he’ll achieve next.
